That’s why. You can find a "clone" for a 1/10th the price, do the mods and have 1600.00 to buy 4 more..
I don’t need the name, I just need what the name does... If I want better resistors, caps and hotrod the PS HexFred or Schotki..
Same with the PAT1-3 upgrade kits for their PreAmps.. 10 X the price of anything even close to that kit/upgrade. That unit has a good modifiable phono stage with RtR MC and MM options.. Just have to tinker a bit...
Retro PLUS on the looks for sure...Again the PS mods and resistor/cap upgrade, makes them BETTER than even the best that came from the factory... .5 THD to .01 ( on the high side actually)
C4-8 monos from Mac will do the job also... ALL PtP and all Valve, OLD, but GOOD
